Notes
'Turquoise Lagoon' pea (Lathyrus hammettii 'Turquoise Lagoon') is an annual for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. It shrugs off cool spells and light frost, though a hard freeze will damage it. This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average, sandy or loamy soil. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. It grows 35 to 47 inches tall and stays about 12 inches wide. The fragrant blooms attract butterflies.
Pairs well with Sensation Mix cosmos, Cherry Caramel phlox, and Red fescue.
